Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Flesh Side: The side of a sheet of parchment or vellum that faced the animal's flesh. The flesh side is almost always whiter and softer than the hair side. The two sides are often easy to identify. Flourish: A decorative or finishing detail. Flyleaf: Flyleaves are additional pages at the beginning or end of a book that protect the main text from worming or damage to the binding. They were often used to try out designs and test newly cut pen nibs. They sometimes include details about provenance. Folio: A sheet of writing material, from the Latin word meaning leaf, one half of a bifolium. The front and back of a folio are known as the recto and verso.

The term can also be used to describe a large volume, in which each sheet is folded only once. Fore-edge: The edge of a book, opposite the spine.
